I defy anyone, even someone who cannot abide this genre of music, to read these lyrics and not become emotional, its utterly heart wrenching, I love this band, I love this song
My wife left me this week. I've always struggled with depression and was slipping to a dark place. This song's words spoke straight to my heart and means the world to me now. Thank you Being As An Ocean.
Saw these guys live last night in Phoenix. It was a life changing experience for me. This band has gotten me through those rough times in life. But at that show yesterday night I felt so happy.. To be able to scream these lyrics as loud as i can with them, It was just wonderful. They are so good live. Joel is like my favorite person in the world. He is so loving and he cares so much for his fans.I just love this band so much.
This is why bands and musicians do what they do. Because they touch the lives of others and help make a change in the lives of strangers. In return fans from any corner of the earth scream, yell, shout, and sing back the lyrics the band poured their hearts and soul into. A humbling opportunity for everyone involved. Keep strong and know, even to a stranger you matter!
I ran into these guys at warped, and even though I don't really listen to this type of genre anymore, I respect the lead singer immensely. He was the ONLY guy at warped that I saw who ran out into the crowd and engaged with the audience multiple times. That's the way band SHOULD be. The passion he has for his music is undeniable. One of the very few popular bands out there that care more about the music and fans, rather than the money and publicity.
being as an ocean is one of those bands that I've been meaning to listen to them for about a year but i never had the time. i just looked them up 2 minutes ago and listened to this song. all I have to say is that i think i just found one of my new favorite bands. I'll most definitely strive to see them on warped tour
The lyrics of this song, are unbelievable, pure poetry. They speak to my heart, on so many levels. You see love’s a funny thing the way it lingers in the mind No matter what you do or the passing of time That ember still glows for those lovers behind No matter if it’s well remembered That light still shines Good times take precedent over every incident No matter how poorly spent So we put on these ridiculous fronts Like we were just fooling around Our love was only childish fun Yet we know different That it meant something to us And that piece still lingers in each one that we’ve loved So we pick up the pieces Try and make a half a whole But in the back of our minds There’s quite a different story to be told That Love has kissed our lips That Love has touched our eyes And no matter how sincere Love has changed our lives And even if all love has flown We’ll have a few scars to proudly show Cause at the end of our lives We can say, ‘At least we tried’
For those who cant seem to understand , swallow these lyrics it actually has meaning its not just screaming thank you There sit two lovers One’s eyes intently chasing the other’s She doesn’t love him anymore But he’ll stick it out till the end This he had sworn Lying awake in bed Feeling the spot on my chest Where you used to rest your head You see love’s a funny thing the way it lingers in the mind No matter what you do or the passing of time That ember still glows for those lovers behind No matter if it’s well remembered That light still shines Good times take precedent over every incident No matter how poorly spent So we put on these ridiculous fronts Like we were just fooling around Our love was only childish fun Yet we know different That it meant something to us And that piece still lingers in each one that we’ve loved So we pick up the pieces Try and make a half a whole But in the back of our minds There’s quite a different story to be told That Love has kissed our lips That Love has touched our eyes And no matter how sincere Love has changed our lives And even if all love has flown We’ll have a few scars to proudly show Cause at the end of our lives We can say, ‘At least we tried’ Lying awake in bed Feeling the spot on my chest Where you used to rest your head
Look up the lyrics. It will give you chills. I've only just heard about this band, and now they have a new fan! Can't wait to see them in Charleston, SC!!
+Calbenmike this particular song is more similar to djent , if you want to se something similar with this song search for In Hearts Wake - Gravity or periphery and djent bands
This song will never get old for me... Exactly like the love that I have for this band, and the love that I have for the girl that I love and now is nowhere near to be found again by me.
i remember the first time i listened to this song and the chills it sent through me. to this day it still does. never listened to any other band that has so much passion
La dispute has really deep shit and they're very passionate but they aren't like this there's not much screaming but you can hear the emotion in their songs
I just discovered this band and Im completely in love with their music. There is so much emotion, passion, and beauty in every dang song. Their music is very relatable so its hard to hold back some tears with those lyrics. Definitely sharing this band with my friends.
Been a fan for almost four years now, and I am so completely proud of where these guys have come. From house show with literally 10 kids to warped and so what with thousands. These guys changed my entire life and perception on how music can make you feel something again. X.
just saw them live...one of the best concerts i've ever been to and i've been to a lot...emotions - love, hate, loss...violence, sound, poetry...goosebumps. thank you.
I love that Invogue uploaded this song on the same day, and this one has 1,419,594 views VS the Label's 159,323 Views. Glad people know who's the conman and who deserves support. :'3
You guys were great with tonights show at Ace of Spades in Sacramento! I agree with you about the whole speech you gave about what happened in Chicago at the rally... America and the world would be better with understanding and love for one another. This generation deserves freedom and courage, not told what to do & say like they're slaves. Love you guys *hug*
these guys were so awesome at warped that they told anyone that was depressed to come see them at the merch table. dont worry about buying anything, just talk. theyre huge on suicide prevention. it made me cry. my lil bro killed himself 1/15/15. i miss him every day
listening to this band when your sad helps you realize that no matter how bad things get you have to hold in there cause things will get better, love this song, love this band
I could listen to this song all day long especially the beginning when he starts doing those awesome low screams. God damn guys. You have a new fan. Teared up big time. Wow.
the song was the most emotional heartfelt song i have ever heard at a warped tour concert live.... Joe himself was not singing this song on the stage, but surrounded by us in the crowd. It is something i will never forget.
this band is awesome. really , i never had a listen , and fuck i regret it. this band is so fcking strong , the voice and the lyrics are so deep , we can feel all the emotions with just his voice. it's fucking impressive , just dig in , this band is awesome
This is it. This is the only song that has ever made me cry. Well done. Well done gentlemen. A lot of people say that music is coming to a grinding halt. I object. I think this is the Golden Age. Being As An Ocean Neck Deep The Story So Far The Dangerous Summer It's 4 in the morning, so I can't think of anymore. But congratulations, Being As An Ocean. You made somebody who literally had no heart sob his heart out.
No lie it took me a coupe of replays to get used to the vocals but man oh man it didn't take long. These dudes are fucking rad. and the melodicness they have in all of their songs on this albums is ridiculous!!!! I can't stop listening to the album!!!!
You know those songs you hear once and love so much you replay it until you despise it? I've been listening to this song for years and still love it as much as the first time I heard it, maybe more.
There sit two lovers One’s eyes intently chasing the other’s She doesn’t love him anymore But he’ll stick it out till the end This he had sworn Lying awake in bed Feeling the spot on my chest Where you used to rest your head You see love’s a funny thing the way it lingers in the mind No matter what you do or the passing of time That ember still glows for those lovers behind No matter if it’s well remembered That light still shines Good times take precedent over every incident No matter how poorly spent So we put on these ridiculous fronts Like we were just fooling around Our love was only childish fun Yet we know different That it meant something to us And that piece still lingers in each one that we’ve loved So we pick up the pieces Try and make a half a whole But in the back of our minds There’s quite a different story to be told That Love has kissed our lips That Love has touched our eyes And no matter how sincere Love has changed our lives And even if all love has flown We’ll have a few scars to proudly show Cause at the end of our lives We can say, ‘At least we tried’ Lying awake in bed Feeling the spot on my chest Where you used to rest your head
literally... like, i feel you, i know you mean it. that you are not like "oh my gosh, Sleeping with Sirens saved my life" bc thats what everyone says. this band literally saves lives, especially this song. i mean it when i say i wouldn't be alive if there wasn't this band and especially this song throughout my childhood... this is life saving poetry into music... i love them, with all my heart.
I hate yet love this because its a beautiful song but the lyrics remind me so much of my past relationship, not only the lyrics, but the video clip too because my ex girlfriend has half of her hair shaved and looks somewhat similar to the girl in the video clip...
This is the most passion and emotion I've felt from any song ever.
You should try Have Heart, if you haven't already.
You should listen Blessed with a curse from BMTH , one of the most emotion songs
this song is my life in poetry with my ex of a year...
***** holy crap i do! not just this song either can you believe it I HAVE VARIETY :O
You should listen to more music.
i'll probably never get tired of this song
+Alexis Clark same
+Alexis Clark is it true that they have a guitarist from band The Elijah?
+Alexis Clark your not the only one
sameee
Everytime is like the first time
I defy anyone, even someone who cannot abide this genre of music, to read these lyrics and not become emotional, its utterly heart wrenching, I love this band, I love this song
My wife left me this week. I've always struggled with depression and was slipping to a dark place. This song's words spoke straight to my heart and means the world to me now. Thank you Being As An Ocean.
The girl that showed me this song is now the reason why I'm listening to this over and over

***** He's the lead vocalist yes.
hell ya phoenix AZ
Ben Smith especially floor shows... a life changing experience with this song
I ran into these guys at warped, and even though I don't really listen to this type of genre anymore, I respect the lead singer immensely.
He was the ONLY guy at warped that I saw who ran out into the crowd and engaged with the audience multiple times.
That's the way band SHOULD be. The passion he has for his music is undeniable.
One of the very few popular bands out there that care more about the music and fans, rather than the money and publicity.
ThaiGoalie So true I didn't see them at warped but I saw a video of them live at warped tour and they where the only band that did that :D
my homie went and saw them in slc and he said the dude got right up in everyone's face. said it was a kick ass show
+ThaiGoalie I was at barrier and he was pretty much on top of me for the whole show. He sweat in my eye, man.
+ThaiGoalie The energy BAAO gives live is unlike anything else. its amazing
+ThaiGoalie yes!!! He did that at the Warped i went to as well! He got so close to me that I touched his beard x)
being as an ocean is one of those bands that I've been meaning to listen to them for about a year but i never had the time. i just looked them up 2 minutes ago and listened to this song. all I have to say is that i think i just found one of my new favorite bands. I'll most definitely strive to see them on warped tour
👍👍👍👍👍👍
+Olivia and Bands is it truth that their guitarist is from a band named The Elijah?
+Olivia and Bands I saw them last year, it was brutal and heart moving
This is me rn, they're incredible. wow 👌🏻
same here. their new song dissolve is amazing as well imo.
The lyrics of this song, are unbelievable, pure poetry. They speak to my heart, on so many levels.
You see love’s a funny thing the way it lingers in the mind
No matter what you do or the passing of time
That ember still glows for those lovers behind
No matter if it’s well remembered
That light still shines
Good times take precedent over every incident
No matter how poorly spent
So we put on these ridiculous fronts
Like we were just fooling around
Our love was only childish fun
Yet we know different
That it meant something to us
And that piece still lingers in each one that we’ve loved
So we pick up the pieces
Try and make a half a whole
But in the back of our minds
There’s quite a different story to be told
That Love has kissed our lips
That Love has touched our eyes
And no matter how sincere
Love has changed our lives
And even if all love has flown
We’ll have a few scars to proudly show
Cause at the end of our lives
We can say, ‘At least we tried’
I cried because its so true.
There is a song that is pure poetry as well called "Dear Diary" by We Are the End.
Holy fuck. The passion in this is unbelievable. Why am I just now hearing about these guys?
I love how this has over a million views
The lyrics just went at my heart and tore it open with it's bare hands. this is real in the feels
For those who cant seem to understand , swallow these lyrics it actually has meaning its not just screaming thank you
There sit two lovers
One’s eyes intently chasing the other’s
She doesn’t love him anymore
But he’ll stick it out till the end
This he had sworn
Lying awake in bed
Feeling the spot on my chest
Where you used to rest your head
You see love’s a funny thing the way it lingers in the mind
No matter what you do or the passing of time
That ember still glows for those lovers behind
No matter if it’s well remembered
That light still shines
Good times take precedent over every incident
No matter how poorly spent
So we put on these ridiculous fronts
Like we were just fooling around
Our love was only childish fun
Yet we know different
That it meant something to us
And that piece still lingers in each one that we’ve loved
So we pick up the pieces
Try and make a half a whole
But in the back of our minds
There’s quite a different story to be told
That Love has kissed our lips
That Love has touched our eyes
And no matter how sincere
Love has changed our lives
And even if all love has flown
We’ll have a few scars to proudly show
Cause at the end of our lives
We can say, ‘At least we tried’
Lying awake in bed
Feeling the spot on my chest
Where you used to rest your head

La dispute has really deep shit and they're very passionate but they aren't like this there's not much screaming but you can hear the emotion in their songs
Still listening to this one and still hurts.
I've listened to this song a thousand times, still get chills and tears

Just discovered this song today. Hits me so hard. Miss her
Remember when this had only 100,000 views wow but this song will never get old. ❤️
This song is one of those where you can feel the emotion behind it so deeply, it's heartbreaking. This is amazing.
Been a fan for almost four years now, and I am so completely proud of where these guys have come. From house show with literally 10 kids to warped and so what with thousands. These guys changed my entire life and perception on how music can make you feel something again. X.
This emotional and briliant song deserves more views! Amazing lyrics...

Damn. Why didn't I listen to these guys sooner. Love them.
Helping me out of depression...Speaks of my situation spot on...
I love this song. Truly beautiful.
dear g-d , their best album imo
masterpiece
No doubt
+Lucas Henrique if you are a real fan you WILL appreciate all of their music
+Lucas Henrique god
Agreed
To me this song is about wanting someone back and knowing and you can't have them. The way the lyrics are written are compassionate and breathtaking.
Still hits me like a brick, the pain portrayed in those grows is so hard hitting.
the lyrics are so pure and straight from the heart, they are by far my favorite band
I love that Invogue uploaded this song on the same day,
and this one has 1,419,594 views VS the Label's 159,323 Views.
Glad people know who's the conman and who deserves support. :'3
I gave my heart to God, and it's more protected like that. Little things won't fill that emptiness I had. But He did.
in my opinion, this song, this album is much better than recent their albums
so emotional sounds
i just found these guys and i just can't get enough. they are so honest. this world needs more honesty.
This makes me wonder why this band is underrated .... Most passion in lyrics and vocals as I ever have heard .
One of my new favorites! Really relevant to my life right now... Awesome Song!
I remember when this came out I cried so much. This song is like my favorite song of all time besides Johnny Cash's Hurt.
This is phenomenal, one of the best songs I've heard. The chorus is amazing, ugh.
This guy is easily one of the most talented vocalists no one talks about. Don't get me wrong, there are a lot out there. But he's so good
Absolutely fell in love with this band after listening to this song. They get better and better. Love em!
In the top 10 best live bands, without a doubt
how can a song be so linked into my life? its like they walk hand in hand. this is beautiful, my heart couldnt handle this. tears streaming.
Being as an Ocean is literally poetry put to music. It's fuckin beautiful.
You guys were great with tonights show at Ace of Spades in Sacramento! I agree with you about the whole speech you gave about what happened in Chicago at the rally... America and the world would be better with understanding and love for one another. This generation deserves freedom and courage, not told what to do & say like they're slaves. Love you guys *hug*
You see love’s a funny thing, the way it lingers in the mind..
The clean lead guitar with the breakdown on rhythm/drums is so soothing
these guys were so awesome at warped that they told anyone that was depressed to come see them at the merch table. dont worry about buying anything, just talk. theyre huge on suicide prevention. it made me cry. my lil bro killed himself 1/15/15. i miss him every day
Another great band I looked over but was lucky enough to come back to and realize just how awesome they are.
this song like stabs me in the heart
This is my first time hearing this band.
And I'm in tears.
SO beautiful & accurate.
listening to this band when your sad helps you realize that no matter how bad things get you have to hold in there cause things will get better, love this song, love this band
it truly is... people should start listening to such real music.
that comes from the heart.
I could listen to this song all day long especially the beginning when he starts doing those awesome low screams. God damn guys. You have a new fan. Teared up big time. Wow.
the song was the most emotional heartfelt song i have ever heard at a warped tour concert live....
Joe himself was not singing this song on the stage, but surrounded by us in the crowd. It is something i will never forget.

it's even better live!!
The emotion in these lyrics literally blew me away.. Amazed
This song hits home perfectly. Deep as fuck.
Instantly one of my favorites
Still listen to this song constantly
This song was so on point for how I feel after losing my ex. Thanks for a poetic song :)
This is it. This is the only song that has ever made me cry. Well done. Well done gentlemen.
A lot of people say that music is coming to a grinding halt. I object. I think this is the Golden Age.
Being As An Ocean
Neck Deep
The Story So Far
The Dangerous Summer
It's 4 in the morning, so I can't think of anymore.
But congratulations, Being As An Ocean. You made somebody who literally had no heart sob his heart out.
She will never see this comment.
She will never hear this song.
God I loved you. We had it all. At least we tried. I'm sorry.
back here again. this never gets old. so much love for this band
No lie it took me a coupe of replays to get used to the vocals but man oh man it didn't take long. These dudes are fucking rad. and the melodicness they have in all of their songs on this albums is ridiculous!!!! I can't stop listening to the album!!!!
Seen these guys live last night at Sydney ... They're AMAZING!!!! Defiantly worth seeing live!

I fondled his beard lol
they put on a really great live show

you are Awesome !!
I love that he's wearing a Joyce Manor shirt
The song that started my love for this band!
First time finding this band and amazing song to start off with ....(and the quote in the beginning tho)
You know those songs you hear once and love so much you replay it until you despise it? I've been listening to this song for years and still love it as much as the first time I heard it, maybe more.
the longest walk home ever
3:40 to 4:09 gives me chills. The song, and the video.
There sit two lovers
One’s eyes intently chasing the other’s
She doesn’t love him anymore
But he’ll stick it out till the end
This he had sworn
Lying awake in bed
Feeling the spot on my chest
Where you used to rest your head
You see love’s a funny thing the way it lingers in the mind
No matter what you do or the passing of time
That ember still glows for those lovers behind
No matter if it’s well remembered
That light still shines
Good times take precedent over every incident
No matter how poorly spent
So we put on these ridiculous fronts
Like we were just fooling around
Our love was only childish fun
Yet we know different
That it meant something to us
And that piece still lingers in each one that we’ve loved
So we pick up the pieces
Try and make a half a whole
But in the back of our minds
There’s quite a different story to be told
That Love has kissed our lips
That Love has touched our eyes
And no matter how sincere
Love has changed our lives
And even if all love has flown
We’ll have a few scars to proudly show
Cause at the end of our lives
We can say, ‘At least we tried’
Lying awake in bed
Feeling the spot on my chest
Where you used to rest your head
I was that guy unfortunately
This song couldn't have been done more beautifully. Nothing but respect.
Joyce manor shirt,
Ayyyyyy B)
Joel is so amazing. I saw them last night and it was insanely amazing I love them so much and they are my favorite band.
The quote in the beginning
Good old classic
I still love you guys
Cheers from Russia
For some weird reason, it is absolutely (I wanna say sexy õ.o) the last few seconds where only the guitar is recorded being played.
got to open up for these guys tonight. Best experience ever. Such classy guys
This lyrics give me shivers ;-;
Probably the most passionate band I've heard. Their music quite literally gives me chills.
Metal fucking poetry right here this is real music
I saw them last night, freaking beautiful! Tears even came out. Truly a great band.
always nice stumbling onto something fucking awesome on youtube
Loving the contrast between the vocals and the guitar in the verses.
saved my life
literally... like, i feel you, i know you mean it. that you are not like "oh my gosh, Sleeping with Sirens saved my life" bc thats what everyone says. this band literally saves lives, especially this song. i mean it when i say i wouldn't be alive if there wasn't this band and especially this song throughout my childhood... this is life saving poetry into music... i love them, with all my heart.
"Cause in the end of lives, we can say, at least we tried" So powerful ... I get goosebumps every single time I hear that.
Here where i discover BAAO Back in 2014
Still loving this after 5154859 listening
I am so happy I made the decision to listen
this song was, is and will forever be the most important thing for me. it is the most beautiful thing ever. a true masterpiece
I hate yet love this because its a beautiful song but the lyrics remind me so much of my past relationship, not only the lyrics, but the video clip too because my ex girlfriend has half of her hair shaved and looks somewhat similar to the girl in the video clip...
